While the term "urban" has a well understood generic meaning, for analytical purposes it is important to have a more concrete definition.  In this document, urban/rural nomenclature follows the Census Bureau definition of urban. For and since Census 2000, urban areas are defined as all territory, population, and housing units located within urbanized areas (UAs) and urban clusters (UCs).  The definition extends to the census block geographic level. While "places" are areas of population concentration, many places contain areas that are not urban.
